Our stay in St Thomas at the Villa Joie de Vivre was an exquisite experience! Katherine was a lovely host from beginning to end. She helped us with our planning, gave us terrific recommendations and even checked in during our stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. We traveled with 3 couples for a week long stay in St Thomas. We all felt like we hit the VRBO jackpot! We have all stayed in other tropical VRBOs and this home was by far the best. Thank you so much Katherine! We can’t say enough about the Villa … the house was not only beautiful but very comfortable, well-appointed and the views are out of this world. We found the location to be perfect, so close to the gorgeous Magen’s Bay, and convenient to the other beaches we visited … Hull Bay, Lindquist Beach, Saphire Beach and the Red Hook area.
Some of our trip highlights:
-We loved being at the Villa … with the amazing sunrises, coffee and cocktails on the Lanai, the incredible views, Sunbathing and Moonlight bathing on the pool deck, neighborhood walks, cooking in for many meals. It just doesn’t get any better than this. Just Paradise!
- We treated ourselves to the exquisite culinary delights of the private chef, Josh Fleagle, for two occasions (a drop off dinner and dinner prepared in home for us).
-Beautiful beach days at Magen’s Bay … spacious, beautiful beach w/ lovely shady spots… great swimming (saw some turtles!) It never felt crowded.
-Adventure to Lindquist Beach, another gorgeous beach, different vibe than Magen’s Bay, but we loved it. Loved the views of the islands from the beach. Very few people here, nice facilities, good snorkeling and great shade trees.
-Hangin at Hull Bay for yet another fun beach day w/ a surfer vibe (including surfers). We had fun hopping between the beach and the very cute and clean beach bar area, Hideaway (loved the swings and dining area and the food from the Shack – great fish tacos) Beach is rocky in most spots so you have to be careful swimming here.
-Day trip to St John w/ snorkeling at Francis Bay. We had the best snorkeling here!
-We rented a car and taxied some. Thanks to Katherine’s recommendation for Samuel Dependable Services (very professional, friendly and prompt taxi service)
